Joe Biden is known for getting along with politicians on both sides of the aisle, but one former Republican congressman wasn’t happy about the vice president being awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Barack Obama on Thursday.

Former Republican Rep. Tim Huelskamp of Kansas took to Twitter on Thursday night to voice his disapproval, tweeting: “For once, @JoeBiden and I agree: he doesn’t deserve this honor.”

What did Biden do other than check up on the Presidents health every morning. Food taster?

The Medals start to lose all meaning when they’re given out this way.

You look at past recipients and it’s far from prestigious award. Anyone and everyone gets it.

The sewer known as Twitter should be ceded to the left. Let them own it. With no one left to turn on, perhaps they’ll turn on themselves.

The first medal of freedom Obama gave out was to Mary Robinson, the Irish head of the Durban Jew Hate UN conference.

I thought that Plugs was best known for feeling up women unfortunate enough to be within his reach.

I didn’t even click the link for the article. People Magazine saying he’s under fire because people tweeted him mean things?
I hate that the media and pop culture celebrity outlets think social media outrage MEANS ANYTHING.. Look how all those infants on Twitter and FB were anti Trump for the past 18 months, pushing BS all day long in their tweets. Twitter even BANNING conservatives, but allowing all types of far lefties to post what they like. What did that get them? November 8th showed the world just how much power social media has on influencing elections...NONE!!! Social media made up of mostly Millennials, who don’t have anything but time to rant against “injustice”, but when it comes down to it, they don’t have the numbers to sway an election, or the money to cause harm to a company like LL Bean with their “outrage” and calls for boycotts.
Why is “outrage” on social media against something or someone for not towing the PC line, treated as some big deal, is beyond me.
People need to not back down from these perpetually outraged shrieker monkeys. They have little to no power to really cause any damage. The media reports on their outrage like it has substance and cowards back down from them. So silly.

Huelskamp is a douche nozzle, but in this case he is correct. Joe Biden never did a damn thing for the country that didn’t benefit him. He never had a job in his life. He held elected office his entire adult life.

Yawn. We have a sitting Dem Congressman calling PEOTUS illegitimate. Should be censured by the House for that.
